Validator

The Validator Page provides a purview into the state of the network validators - the backbone infrastructure of the blockchain.

Here is a brief explainer on the numbers that you might find interesting:

• Validators: number of validators on the network

• Total staked aptos: the amount of Aptos that has been staked to secure the network

• Average validator staking: Average amount of Aptos for each staking validator.

• Current Epoch: the epoch that the network is on ( 1 epoch = 7200s)

• Staking APY: yield earnings on your staked Aptos

Going deep into the stats of each validator, we have:

• Address: the address of the validator/staking address

• Index: Validator number within the set

• Voting Power: how much APT that the validator can vote with

• Reward Performance: shows the rewards performance of a validator. It is calculated as a % of the reward earned by the validator out of the maximum reward-earning opportunity, i.e., (rewards earned across the epochs)/(maximum reward opportunity across the epochs). This is a cumulative metric across all the epochs.

• Location: where the node is located

• Operator Address: the address of the node operator

• Epoch: the current epoch that the network is running on ( 1 epoch = 2700s)
